A fascinating evening

Last night saw me dining and tripping the light fantastic at the fifty anniversary ball of Sydney's Tranby College. This is a unique educational institute for Aboriginal students and it was a privilege to be invited to their great party. The venue was the Grand Ballroom at the Hilton on George Street. There was great food and wine, music by Freshwater and Buddy Knox. The compere was a very funny and cheeky performer who cracked a few great controversial gags.

One of the Aunties told us a personal story of being one of the stolen generation. This was incredibly moving. All in all it was a fabulous evening that stretched easily into the next day.
